What Should We Do With The Rat Got Trapped In The Cage ?

Hi Dear SSwallace! That is a good idea that these creatures can be used for the purpose of experimentation in schools! But then in India the dissection of animals in schools has been stopped long back a it is the cruelty on the animals! I can never of killing these cute looking devils/pests as whenever I look at them in the cage I feel they want to say something to me! Thanks for responding!

Oh Yes, dear friend you have a valid point there, then I need to go to very long distance in search of such institutes, which is impractical as there must be some formalities and also some official procedures to be completed before giving such animals to them! And do you thin every time I catch a rat I ca run to such institutes? Thanks for responding back!

I agree it is cruelty. However, I do think sometimes good can comes out of research. Possible cancer cures for example.

Hi Dear aeiou ! I have gone to the link and translated it into English, but unfortunately I couldn't get any news regarding to our issue! I even tried to search the search engine by using the word 'Rats' but couldn't get any result! Now it is your turn to help me out! Thanks !

I read the news in physical newspaper of sinchew. It was about a year ago. Can you write to the sinchew or Chinapress to inquire this matter? I think news reporter of these two press can reply and answer to you directly.

Hi Dear Barehugs! Here we don't have ferrets, though we have cats, I personally don't like cats as they are if not more but equally notorious as they gate crash our Kitchen to have their regular feasts! Many a times the milk kept in the containers after pasteurisation is consumed by these ones! Though we have few cats on the farm , we hardly encourage them your place for this reason! Yes, terriers are the better dogs as they have natural instincts for hunting the rodents! But then I am already having 5 dogs at my place and it would be very difficult for me to get a new puppy and and raise him/her for this purpose as my old boys will create a scene at my place the moment thy see a new pup at my place! they are too possessive and they don't want any new entry int the family! It is but natural I believe! Thanks for the response!

Hi Dear Julise! Yes, I know how a rat can be killed but frankly speaking I really can't kill the rats for that matter any animals as it goes against my consciousness! So I am keeping them away from the human population . Faraway in the natural relocated wild place for them ! Thanks for rsponding!

Hi Dear hardworkinggul! I am really happy that you don't have any rat nuisance! It is a big head ache! They van make you crazy not only by putting you in to monetary loss, but some times creating a lot of confusion in the family! I was shouting at my son about my pen drive in which I stored some of my important data pertaining to my work and all of a sudden I found that the pen drive was missing,my son was constantly trying to explain me that he has no role in that incidence, but since I was in anger I used some harsh words against him, about which I really felt bad and apologised him, when I found that this pen drive of mine together with some other small articles were lying inside my sofa set in the form a nest made by the female rat! Similarly when my brother visited our place his wrist watch was missing which later on we could trace behind our computer with the leather strap got damaged at several places! This sort of things can create confusions and misunderstanding as we are having a full time servant at home, and any body would become suspicious if these things keep on happening now and then! Now understood the thing and keeping the traps at various places the nuisance has got reduced considerably! In spite of all these, I really can't kill these creatures, as I feel pity and that is why I are trying to sent them to their natural habitat so that they will also perform their roles in this ecosystem! they do have natural enemies and their population will be kept under check by them! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Kishu Vishal! You are right,they have become now part and parcel of our lives! In fact the rats at my place as I mentioned above, they visit our place to have some fun and nice time as they have no dearth of food on the big stud farm. They get all sorts of nutrition on the farm only! Here at my place they come to have some fruit, chocolates or some times some non veg, including some fresh/raw eggs which have in trays for our Dogs! Can any one believe that rats can easily break open eggs to eat them away? But then they actually do it! Of Course they waste lot of the egg while doing so! The young rats when they have grown up they roam around our place as if they have obtained a license to do so they are not afraid of human beings and occasionally we get to see some interesting wresting between two siblings! Though, we get irritated some times because of the nuisance they create, but honestly speaking,possibly we will miss them if we don't have any at our place as we are only two people in our family staying on the farm and a servant! My wife's most of the time revolves around these rats, sometimes she complains some times she appreciates the cuteness of the young ones, she instructs several times before we plan to leave the trapped rats to leave them, to be careful and not to kill them etc. Thus for us also rats though are trouble makers, but have become part and parcel of our lives and there is nothing really we can do as we are definitely against killing them! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Shellback! I fully agree with your views! I am a Vet by profession and understand the nuisance that these pests can create in our lives! But then the Humane side in me doesn't allow me to kill these rats! I know I am encouraging them to get their population increased, but the I believe that they have got their own natural enemies in the ecosystem and let them do their duties and why should I interfere in the ecosystem! Though I agree that it is best thing to eliminate them, let me admit frankly I am too timid to kill them and justifying my consciousness! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Cmang! My idea is not sending them to other people houses! We have small jungle sort of thing near by our farm where there is lot of wild shrubbery and other vegetation and there is good rabbit population growing there, which indicates that these grounds can be ideal place for these creatures to live in a wild way! With that idea I am leaving them there! Any how, I am really doubtful, if some one asks me to kill them, if I can really accomplish the job! Basically I don't like to do harm to the animals especially to the ones who are helpless and that is why I leave them,though knowing the fact that they can be dangerous some time in the future! I am helpless! Thanks for responding!
